I hope we get them away in the cup this year. Never been to Upton park and want to before they move.
Didn't they handball in it in the build up to their late winner ? Was a good atmosphere that night, remember Blackburn in the cup might have been same season the round before, everyone stood up on the 87 min or so and gave the players a standing ovation to the end that's one of my favourite memories from the Ricoh
Today at work we were talking about the best atmosphere at the Ricoh. One guy mentioned that in his opinion it was the league cup match against West Ham in 2008 in a game we lost 2-1. However, for the life of me I can't remember this game happening and can't find much on the internet. Can anyone confirm this game happened and what the score was?

Bloody hell, it says McNamee played. It also says he didn't go off. I'm not sure this site's trustworthy!
Yes 2008 it was, on sky if I remember rightly too? Great atmosphere. West ham had a mob revenge attack for what happened st George's day in 2007 at the coach and horses. Kicked off afterwards. It's How the Ricoh should have been on a weekly basis
Ben Turner done a right cock up to let Carlton Cole score
Jay Tabb scored a great diving header. It looked like we'd win but unbelievably lost it in last three minutes.
'Twas a great atmosphere, fairly big crowd around 27k
Once was enough for me!
and me! 1988-89 season. Never again.....
Why?
Match went off without incident (1-1 I think), got back to the coach after and we'd only travelled about a mile when there was loud banging on the side of the coach. The driver got out to investigate and promptly came running back on the coach looking terrified followed by a mob of west ham fans with baseball bats who then set about smashing up the coach and putting all the windows through and offering to take us all on. Scary shit at the time but I was only 16. We had the windows smashed on the coach at QPR as well (87-88 I think Won 2-1 Houchen & Regis).

What happened in 2007?
I've heard some great stories about our trip to West Ham in the early 80's in the cup when we swamped the place. West Ham was a place you had to have your wits about you but it was exciting more than scary really. They always travel well to, with good followings at Highfield a number of times. Always looked forward to their visits as they'd make it a good day.
